As Double Fine's Brutal Legend materializes in stores this week, it's conceivable that a good portion of the people picking it up will be unfamiliar with the game's epic heavy metal soundtrack.

Jack Black wields the axe he was born to use as a brutally metal rock roadie in the upcoming game Brutal Legend, and tonight at 6:30PM, X-Play will devote an entire episode to the game. Adam and Morgan head to San Francisco for an all access look at creator Tim Schafer’s metal epic revealing never-before-seen footage that could make your...

Tim Schafer is a gaming God. If there's one guy on this earth who gets it, he does. Take this video for example. Tim could have made a simple, flashy trailer for the game that told people about the live Demothon event Double Fine is doing to promote Brutal Legend, but no, that's not good enough. Instead we get to see what Tim really does when...

Soon, the world will have another Tim Schafer game on shelves. After years in development and several "oh crap" moments regarding its future, Brutal Legend will become reality.
